Nicole Adams '11

Bachelor of Arts in Education,
Minor in Sociology
School of Education and Exercise Science
School of Liberal Arts

“As I toured campus,
I quickly noticed that everyone seemed to know each other
and asked each other sincere questions about how things
were going. I wanted to be a part of a campus that felt like
family where the people genuinely cared about me and my
well-being as a student and as a person too.”

After graduation, Adams plans to work at a non-profit,
community-centered organization in the Indianapolis area.
“I have learned so much about the world while at Marian
University. It has been a diverse experience from my
residence halls to my classes. I’ve learned a different way
to look at the world. Specifically, my sociology courses have
challenged me to see the world in a way most choose not
to. Inequalities are everywhere, but we shouldn’t feel like
we cannot change that, because we can. There is a way to
make a difference, and my coursework has taught me that.”

Originally from Fortville, Indiana, Nicole Adams came to
Marian University to study education. From the moment
she stepped foot on campus, she could tell how close-knit
the community was.

“What I appreciate the most though, is the sincerity of the
professors. They’ve always been there for me—not only as
great professors that challenge my thinking, but also as
awesome mentors that help me see solutions to problems.
I can’t wait to use what I’ve learned to make a difference in
the world.”
